Hi fellow travelers,
I’ll be visiting Singapore for the first time next month and I’m super excited about exploring the local food scene. I’ve heard that the city is a paradise for food lovers, with everything from hawker centers to fine dining.
Since I don’t want to miss out on any iconic flavors, I’d love to know from locals and experienced travelers — what are the must-try dishes in Singapore that really represent its culture and food heritage?
A few specific things I’m curious about:
Which hawker center or street food stall is a must-visit?
Are there any lesser-known dishes beyond the popular ones like Hainanese chicken rice and chili crab?
Any tips on where to find authentic versions of laksa, satay, kaya toast, or other traditional favorites?
If you could recommend a single dish that every traveler should try in Singapore, what would it be?
I’m open to both budget-friendly options and unique local experiences. Any recommendations or personal food stories would be amazing!
Thanks in advance for helping me plan my foodie adventure in Singapore 😊
